I’m in a similar boat. Stage 3 kidney disease, plus heart disease and lupus. Can’t take ibuprofen due to the potential for additional kidney damage (it’s not good for your heart, either). When my lupus flares up, I am shit out of luck. I take tramadol occasionally, but I don’t want to take it too often due to the side…

Wonderful! Our local school board just voted to cut art entirely, and music is next on the chopping block. Maybe students can watch this instead.

Nothing ruins a trip to the zoo/aquarium like parents. It’s not the kids; it’s the parents ramming into you with their strollers and holding everyone up for five minutes while they try to take the perfect picture.

I’m surprised they gave you Valium. I didn’t know it was an option, or I would have asked about it!

I just read a book called “The Butterfly Garden,” and I am making it my mission in life to tell everyone about it. It needs a trigger warning for rape/violence, but it was just such a good book. Totally different from most thrillers/mysteries I’ve read.

The Jon-Benet guy wasn’t vindictive, though. He was all for the intruder theory and swears up and down that the Ramseys weren’t involved. Unless there is yet another PI I don’t know about.

Confession: I was raised in a conservative household, and I voted for Bush both times. I used to be “pro-life” and pro-death penalty. Fortunately, when I was about 25, I stumbled across a new site called Jezebel. Back then, there were more pieces on racism, abortion, class issues, and the like. The articles I read…

When I lived in NYC, I wore them all the time. It hurt for a month, and then I basically lost all feeling in the balls of my feet. After I moved, I didn’t wear shoes for a while because I had surgery and couldn’t leave the house. Ever since then, I absolutely cannot wear heels. Sensible flats FTW!

I don’t think autism is the worst possible thing, but as someone with spina bifida and a long history of surgery, I’d rather have the spina bifida.

You need to tell us everything about the show. Do you wear your own clothes, or do they provide your wardrobe (I’m guessing you wear your own clothes based on some of the outfits I’ve seen)? Do they pay for you to fly to California? What is Alex like in person? I took the Jeopardy test this year. I knew most of the…

Andy Samberg is incredibly hot with short hair. That is all.

It’s safe to put sunscreen on a baby at six months, and their baby was born in November, so...it’s not going to spontaneously combust or anything.

Oh man, this is right up my alley.

Get out of my head! I scrolled down to say that this pales in comparison to the Ashlee Simpson lip-syncing jig!

I don’t even get why he sold out so badly. He was already a renowned physician with a great income. I get that doctors usually end up with a lot of student loan debt, but he made hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

You know who else claims to have ungrateful children who owe them everything? Narcissists. You see them commenting on parenting forums about how they give their children everything and don’t get any respect or love in return. You know what they don’t mention? The daily verbal abuse, the meddling in their children’s…

When everyone else is having a calm discussion and you have to go around and pee all over the posts with your rage and negativity, then yes, you are the asshole.

My friends would disown me if I said this IRL, but...

Crotch Crickets is the best thing I’ve ever heard.

The Amber Alert scared the shit out of me because I had to cancel my cell phone a few months ago because my husband lost his job and we had to cut back on expenses. I didn’t realize I’d still receive alerts even if I am not connected to a phone plan, so I almost peed my pants when the phone started buzzing (it has a…
